The Lion Foundation grants funding for 2021 Childrens Camp

Thank you to the Lion Foundation for granting funds of $10,000.00 supporting the 2021 Children's Camp (September 2020).

From the volunteers, leaders, support peers and the attending children, our sincere appreciation in contributing to this valuable and necessary event.

"Camp Awhi is a chance for kids to be kids".  It gives the opportunity to make genuine connections with other children, re-discover the fun in physical fitness, learn their own strengths and find their own voices, along with a whole lot of fun..

Mangere - Otahuhu local grants

Burn Support Group are extremely happy with the response and support given towards the new initiative hygiene kits provided for the burn survivor during their stay in hospital.

These personal kits have been designed with the advice of burn survivors and the wonderful and appreciated Life Pharmacy Botany. 

Sometimes long periods of recovery will be spent in hospital, it is the hope of the Charity that a few necessities can benefit and assist during this time along with information on introducing the Burn Support Group and what can be provided to support the individual and family during recovery.

Life Pharmacy kindly joined in partnership to launch this project, looking at a long term commitment.

The Charity would also like to express and acknowledge the Mangere - Otahuhu Council, through the local board grants scheme they provided the funds to act on this scheme (October 2020).

At this stage 60 packs have been funded and will be distributed as necessary for burn survivors throughout the country via the hospital burn units.
 
This is a fabulous contribution from all involved and the Burn Support Group are extremely proud to be a part of this collaboration. 

Special mention to Raewyn McGillivray for your patience and generous support.  

Xfire Ltd partners with Burn Support Charitable Trust

On behalf of the Burn Support Group, thank you to Jeff Parkinson for your approach to this Charity, with your generous donation of monthly sponsorship.
